The Build - Adding the metal railing and parts

At this point I took another several days, probably over a week, to add all of the metal railing. Make sure you paint them carefully so the paint does not glob up on

the small rails.

The Build - SHowing the Akizuki in the Hyuga Task Force

I then wanted to get some pics of the Akizuki class, my DDG-116, Teruzuki, with my complete 1/350 scale Hyuga Task Force.

This now includes:

1 x Hyuga DDH
1 x Atago AEGIS DDG
1 x Kongo AEGIS DDG
1 x Akizuki DDG
1 x Takanami DDG
1 x Soryu SS

They look really good.
